I stopped listening to club interviews during the BBM era. I found that they just spoke in clichés and there were no real questions/answers that added any value. Remember the days under Hill - some of his interviews were funny as hell. Jim in particular talks in riddles and I cannot stand more than 10 seconds of his interviews... it would be nice to actually hear his real views and opinions rather than the party line or what he thinks we want to hear.
As to the team, same DNA and issues as last year but the players are improved and with more clinical finishing we should get better results oh for a Hogan, Holt or Whitehall! |

I spend all my spare time dumping on little Jim... but alas you cannot read anything into pre-season friendlies.
He seems to be re-building and I do actually think he has a good eye for talent. |

From reading all your posts it seems the team has underperformed.... when that happens I am told you look to the management. All these talented players, tearing up trees for their clubs but not for England...
Time for a change at the top - that Jurgen Klopp chap is free |

Agree
England matches are super boring to watch - the product is just not good enough. Credit to all of you who will watch it live. |

My grandad had a saying.. 'men against boys'
I remembered this when I last watched England, the Euro final against Italy at Wembley. Felt we were the boys led by a youth team couch going up against men.
Not watched any England match since (because its shite), so cannot comment. However, from comments here, nothing seems to have changed.
That said they are through to the last 16 -anything can happen, including Slovenia winning outright. I do fancy an outsider this year. [Post edited 26 Jun 7:43]

Probably not; but I am fed up with good young talent leaving our club too soon for 'bigger clubs' and failing in dead end youth and U23 squads. Too many over the years, some successes but far too many young promising talent thrown away.
I believe it was KH who said there are far too many dead end cul-de-sac academies... |

SG would never be the chairperson of anything based on his profile and experience. No debate on this.
He is a good man, should be remembered fondly for saving the club
If he hangs on, he will cause more issues and be remembered in a poor light.
SG - Job done sir, thankyou but a wise person would move on now. |

no its...
Me: There is no point arguing with you (or a variation)
Other: Why?
Me: You can never win an augment against an idiot
Another one that irritates is signing off an email etc with 'further discussions regarding this matter is no longer required'. Followed up by not replying to any other email or post form said individual. |

Ah, 'knicker in a twist.' Haven’t heard that since 1979, and never in the context of menstruation.
Reminds me of some other juvenile sayings .. thanks for taking me down the Pre-Thatcher memory lane:
Ants in your pants makes you belly button dance
Tale tell tip, you mother cant knit, your fathers in the dustbin eating fish and chips
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
My dad's bigger then your (we all had dads back then)
No backsies!
Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.
Finders keepers, losers weepers.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. [Post edited 4 Apr 10:57]

In the fans forum SG said he had maintained the playing budget but cut costs in all other departments- expect this means we are well set for this league - though I am not sure. |

442 -
Good point here.
Why are we so consistently bad at succession planning? If we think about the past 30 years, how many successful managers have been proactively appointed by the board - probable Steve Parkin's first spell at the club?
Keith Hill forced the hand of the board through not only the results but the paradigm shift in the playing culture.
So, it seems successive Boards have not been able to pick a winner.
As I said earlier, Jim will move on, either fired or headhunted - who are we lining up to replace him? |

why must you shut down an opinion that differs from your own by the 'provide me the evidence' routine? Surely we all have an equal voice and healthy debate is desirable?
you do this quite often.
Go on... do it... reply with ...... if you look at my previous posts; or provide the evidence.
What I will say, to all is don't fall out over little Jim, he will be gone within 18months - how do I know, because they all do. I genuinely hope he goes via being head hunted for a better job as this will mean he has turned around the results.
Good luck to LJ and the team for Monday, hope for a win and a win in style. |

I do think Little Jim can spot a player and develop players. If he is given another season, he will add quality to the squad and improve it. I just wish he stopped talking like Tony Blair on acid and was more tactically adaptable.
good results lately, not watching but will start again in the fall. |

I expect but don't know, that WSH are offering better terms to settle SG's debt and TFC said... let talk about it, that's like saying get lost.
After SG's reported actions at the EGM... I like him even less than before and for the record I have stated he was not very good for the past year. HOWEVER, the morally right thing to do is ensure his loans are make good and he is thanked for his service. Don't want to see the guy under financial hardship for rescuing us from MH. |
